The man looked at Situ Lanyin's beautiful face distorted by pain, not only did he not have the slightest pity, but smiled coldly, he looked at Situ Lanyin and said in a low voice: "Do you know that you are wrong? But I don't know what you're doing wrong! I don't know, when did you think about the surname Jing? Could it be that the fake has come true? In order to deal with a small love rival, the crow group was dispatched, and that's it, the assassination failed, not only did you not inform the seat, but instead sent people to assassinate one after another, Situ Lanyin, when did you become so stupid? ”
Situ Lanyin's face turned even paler, and the sharp pain on her body made her face covered with cold sweat. She looked at the man in horror and pleaded in a tactful voice: "No, my lord, my subordinates really know that they are wrong! The subordinates only have the lord in their hearts, and they sent someone to kill Lan Qi just because they were worried that Jingtang would not be controlled...... Yes! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man stepped on his feet again, and Situ Lanyin screamed miserably, his face as white as paper.
The man said angrily: "Situ Lanyin, you are so bold, at such a time, you actually dare to deceive this seat!" Is this seat so easy to deceive in your eyes? The Lan Qi you are talking about is the person in Jingtang's heart, right? You're really useless, you've been married to him for so many years, and you still can't control him! I ask you, why didn't you tell me after the first failed assassination attempt by the Crows? ”
When Situ Lanyin heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble. The first assassination failed, and she was even more angry in her heart, thinking that in just a few years, Lan Qi's skills had improved so much. So she sent another thirty people, thinking that this time it would be foolproof, but who knew that it would be wiped out again.
By this time she already knew that something was wrong. But she lost fifty people one after another, how dare she let the Lord know? She had to send fifty people in one go. Thinking that if Lan Qi really had a helper, he would arrest everyone back. Who knows that fifty people are still going and never returning. It just made her vomit blood!
Before she could make an excuse, the Lord actually sent someone to summon her, and caught her off guard.
The man looked at Situ Lanyin's expression in his eyes, and asked again, "Cheng Xibo was also sent by you?" ”
Situ Lanyin was even more afraid, although Cheng Xibo's status in the organization was below her, he was also a good player. What's more, the organization paid a lot to make Cheng Xibo a 'gentleman's sword', but Cheng Xibo was killed by someone, and all his previous efforts were wasted.
She didn't dare to tell the Lord about this. After all, Cheng Xibo went to Qingzhou City completely at her behest. If you let the Venerable Lord know that because of her selfishness, she killed Cheng Xibo, who was the focus of the organization's training, the Venerable Lord would definitely not let her go!
How do you know, the lord already knows.
The more Situ Lanyin thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he heard the man say, "Situ Lanyin, do you know how much trouble you have caused to this seat because of your self-assertions?" ”
After all, Shang Shigong is the prefect of the imperial court, and he is supported by the emperor. Because of Situ Lanyin's assassination, the organization was almost exposed. and Cheng Xibo. But the organization spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and it was also because of Situ Lanyin that he was directly killed!
The man scolded Situ Lanyin for a while, but Situ Lanyin didn't dare to refute anything. Eventually, the man said, "There is probably a master hidden behind the business. You'd better not provoke them again in the future! And that Lan Qi, you don't have to pay more attention to her! Her father, and those uncles and uncles. I don't want your stupidity to turn all these people against me! ”
Situ Lanyin was very unwilling when he heard this. But she didn't dare to show it, so she could only nod obediently in agreement. She hadn't expected it. There is still a master behind the business, who is it? She has already sent someone to check the business, and she has no background, why is there a master hidden behind it?
But since the Lord said so, she couldn't help but believe it. After that, she was very happy, she was still hesitant to do it herself, but fortunately she didn't. Otherwise, if she really meets that master, it may not be easy for her to get out of the way.
The man and the emperor had similar thoughts, and they didn't want to offend the top masters and add a powerful enemy to themselves. So Situ Lanyin's assassination of the merchant and Lan Qi was over, and afterwards, even if Situ Lanyin hated Lan Qi again, he didn't dare to do it again.
As a result, businesses have returned to their former tranquility.
Time flies very quickly, and seeing that it is time for the autumn harvest of another year, because of the governance of Shang Shigong, the entire Qingzhou has ushered in another bumper harvest, and the tax revenue has also hit a record high.
The potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other things that Shang Shigong once offered to the emperor have been popularized and cultivated in most areas of the Great Xi Dynasty after years of multiplication. Because of them, the grain output of the Great Xi Dynasty has increased every year, especially this year.
The emperor was overjoyed, and seeing that Shang Shigong was governing Qingzhou better and better, he moved his mind to transfer Shang Shigong to the imperial capital.
However, at this moment, someone remembered He Zhengde and He Yuanzhang's father and son.
He Zhengde is an old treacherous and cunning fox, before the He family was defeated, He Zhengde was exiled, it was because of the Xin family. After the accident in the Xin family, some people remembered He Zhengde. He Zhengde is not very good, but he is very good at collecting money. What is even more concerning is He Zhengde's Yue family, the Liu family.
The Liu family was already a behemoth in the previous dynasty, and its power was more intertwined than the Xin family. What's even more concerning is that the Liu family has very strict family rules, acts in a low-key manner, and has always remained neutral. When Emperor Taizu rebelled, the Liu family gave help, but after the establishment of the Great Xi Dynasty, the relationship between the Liu family and the imperial family gradually faded, and only maintained a distance that was not too close and not too close, neither too close nor too distant.
Concubine Yun is the mother of the second prince and one of the emperor's favorite concubines, from the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family is also a family, it is only medium in the family. Concubine Yun's beauty is not inferior to Queen Xin, and she has always been ambitious. If you want to go further, you can't rely on the Zhao family alone.
As early as when the He family had not yet fallen, Concubine Yun and the Zhao family wanted to win over He Zhengde. Of course, their ultimate goal is to use He Zhengde as a springboard to get closer to the Liu family. It's a pity that He Zhengde was very cunning at that time, and he only talked to them and refused to nod.
Later, when the He family had an accident, Concubine Yun and the Zhao family also secretly added fuel to the fire and took revenge. However, later they tried to win over the Liu family many times but had little success, and they didn't dare to make it too obvious, so the emperor was alert, so there was no progress for several years.
After the accident of the Xin family this time, the Zhao family and Concubine Yun secretly discussed and plotted to help the He family and pull He Zhengde, an old fox, into their camp. At that time, with He Zhengde's help, it should be much easier to win over the Liu family.
Anyway, the He family was brought down by the Xin family at the beginning, and now that the Xin family has lost power, the case back then can be pushed on the head of the Xin family, saying that the He family was wronged.
After making a decision, the Zhao family sent someone to secretly contact He Zhengde. He Zhengde had long been eager to return to Beijing, and Zhao Jiaken threw an olive branch, so it was naturally impossible for him not to accept it.
With his assurance, the Zhao family and Concubine Yun were put into operation. Then, the Zhao family found a suitable opportunity and arranged for an inconspicuous person to go on an excerpt to rehabilitate the He family.
Many ministers thought of the Liu family, so they all reconsidered, and the emperor had to order a thorough investigation. After this investigation, it was found that many of the evidence back then had problems, and He Zhengde was actually whitewashed.
The emperor naturally knew that someone had done something inside, but he didn't make a noise, but took advantage of this incident to arrest some more people, and took advantage of the situation to exempt He Zhengde and his son He Yuanzhang from the crime, and gave them back the mansion in the capital.
After that, it was proposed that He Zhengde be reinstated. Who knows, the emperor suddenly issued another holy decree, transferred Shang Shigong to the capital, and appointed him as the left attendant of the household department.
He Zhengde's former official position was the left servant of the household department. The emperor did this, obviously on purpose.
The Zhao family and Concubine Yun were a little unwilling, but they didn't dare to openly complain for He Zhengde, for fear of making the emperor suspicious. Fortunately, the emperor later appointed He Zhengde as the prefect of Yuzhou, He Yuanzhang became the prefect of the county, and the Zhao family finally stopped.
They were afraid that the emperor would find out their intentions and refuse to appoint He Zhengde again, so their hard work would be in vain. It's just that the emperor obviously brought Shang Shi Gong and made the Zhao family and Concubine Yun dissatisfied, and the last time they attacked Shang Shi Gong, they also made a lot of efforts in it.
Originally, he wanted to get rid of Shang Shi Gong so that he could install his own people in the past, but he didn't know that in the end, he would fail, and the emperor also made it clear that he wanted to support Shang Shi Gong.
Shang Shigong's worries finally came true at this moment. Because Anton Hua happened to live in the Shang Mansion when he was in Qingzhou City, in the eyes of the Zhao family and Concubine Yun, the merchants had already been labeled as Anton Hua, which was also the reason why they resisted Shang Shigong.
Now they have finally made Anton Hua lose the position of crown prince, but they can no longer let Anton Hua win the emperor's favor by virtue of his merchant skills.
The holy decree was soon passed to Shang Shigong, and at the same time, the He family also knew the good news of He Zhengde and He Yuanzhang. However, He Yunqi, who has a lifetime of memory, is not satisfied with such a result.
He Yunqi was very flustered, in her memory, He Zhengde and He Yuanzhang should both be reinstated, but why is this life so different? Why, the seat that should have belonged to He Zhengde was snatched away by Shang Shigong?
The more He Yunqi thought about it, the more panicked he became, and at the same time, he hated the merchants.
Tobe Samurai is her grandfather's! Why did you become a merchant? Why? The merchant already has enough, why do they want to rob the He family?
At this time, He Yunqi didn't know that there was a very important reason why He Zhengde and He Yuanzhang were not reinstated, and that was He Yuanfang! Although the emperor spared the He family, it doesn't mean that he forgot that his son was almost killed! (To be continued......)
