In the back hall of the casino, Jia Baoyu walked into a hall number with Ming Yan and a few pro-soldiers, and couldn't help but look up at the name of the hall number.

Zhongyitang!

Interestingly, the hall number behind the gambling house is actually called Zhongyi Hall.

Entering the door, a half-bearded, not very tall, but very burly looking head blocked his head and said respectfully: "Second Master Bao, the person has already cleaned up, if the second master has other needs, just speak." ”

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "Second Brother Ni will take someone out first." ”

"Yes." Ni Er waved his hand after bowing again, and his brothers followed him out.

Jia Baoyu looked at the lying on the ground, covered in bruises, and muttered: "Don't fight, please don't fight, I will pay back the silver, I will definitely be able to pay back the silver......"

Jia Baoyu walked to the chair at the top and sat down.

"More than 5,000 taels of silver, you can't pay it back today, it's more than 6,000 taels tomorrow, and even more later, so it's even more profitable, you are a third-class slave of the Wu family, how many lifetimes will it take to pay it off?"

Zhao San's fat man's hands and feet were used, and he couldn't stand up, and at this time, he suddenly heard the voice of a young but extraordinary young man, so he raised his head vigorously and said, "You, who are you?" ”

Jia Baoyu and his entourage are not from the gambling house at first glance, because their bearing and momentum are completely different from those villains in the casino.

"You don't need to know who I am now, you just need to know that I can help you with the debt here, and besides, I can reward you with five thousand pieces of silver, as long as you answer me honestly a few questions......"

……

In the Yangxin Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Jingtai quietly listened to the reply of Zhao, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Army, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Did he really take the silver back to the palace with such a swagger?"

"Yes!"

"Unproductive obstacles!"

Emperor Jingtai threw the table angrily, and Zhao and Zhu Lan next to him were silent.

"So, Qian Zhao has known about this matter and has already gone to the mansions of the cabinet ministers to discuss the joint impeachment of the eldest prince?" Emperor Jingtai's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty, yes. Xicheng is so big in total, the Xue family drove a carriage from Xicheng Avenue to Xi'an Gate at dusk, and the movement was very big, and it was impossible to hide it from the court princes.

In addition, the head of the Fukang Palace, Shi personally appeared at Xi'an Gate, and it is even more impossible to hide it......"

"I know, you go down."

"Yes."

Zhao walked away in surprise. He also thought that Emperor Jingtai would tell him something else.

"What do you think?" Emperor Jingtai looked at Zhu Lan and sneered.

Zhu Lan didn't seem to notice it, and only said: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince has lacked the love of his father and mother since he was a child, and he is better than the hands of the palace people, so it is inevitable that his actions will be absurd, and His Majesty does not need to be too harsh." After a few years, the eldest prince will be more mature, and it will naturally be fine. ”

When Emperor Jingtai heard Zhu Lan's words, he was a little thoughtful. Yes, if I hadn't been in prison back then, did something sorry for him, and then was busy seizing the throne and neglected to care for and teach him, how would he grow up to be what he is today?

He is not angry, and I am not guilty!

However, he has always been my son, no matter what, I have beaten and scolded, and if others dare to calculate, I will not spare them!

"Heh, what I asked is, what do you think of Qian Zhao's matter?"

Emperor Jingtai said coldly.

Zhu Lan's expression on her face remained unchanged, but her heart was full of agro. After hesitating for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Qian Zhao is stubborn and self-righteous, and he disregards the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and his sin is unforgivable. His Majesty can order Zhao to ask him for his guilt and send him to prison, showing the majesty of the imperial court. ”

Emperor Jingtai looked at Zhu Lan coldly, and was also silent for a long time, and then said: "Since you think that his sin is unforgivable, then this matter will be handed over to you, and I don't want to see him appear again at the next court meeting." ”

"Yes, poor monk."

……

Late at night, Qian Zhao returned to his mansion and felt slightly tired.

But there was a fire burning in his chest.

If the eldest prince is allowed to ascend to the throne in the future, Qian Zhao really doesn't know what kind of situation Daxuan will fall into, but I am afraid that the people are like ants, and the people are like dogs, the world is subverted, and the sun and the moon are hanging upside down!

No, I, Qian Zhao, have been in the cold for ten years, have read poetry and books, and have worked hard for more than 20 years, so that I can not be the year of the Mandate of Heaven, and I will be the second rank of the imperial court.

Fortunately, the eldest prince is greedy, has no scruples, and wantonly exploits the scholars, so the crime is obvious, Qian does not believe it, and the court princes can still sit idly by.

This time, it will never be able to turn over!

After simply bathing under the service of the servants, Qian Zhao came to his study and worked hard to write, and in less than half an hour, he had already written seven or eight impassioned letters of concern for the country.

After writing it, Qian Zhao's depressed mind was a little loose, and then he became happy, as long as these letters were sent, the eldest prince would definitely cut himself off from the court.

Because of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, there are few who are not from the Shi clan!

The eldest prince's move has firmly separated him from the hearts of the scholars, and there is no possibility of healing.

It can be seen that the teachings of the saints are not wrong in the end, people will insult themselves, and future generations will insult them!

Qian Zhao was in a surging mood, and he intuitively felt that what he was doing was the most important thing in his life, and in the future, he would definitely be able to shine in the annals of history.

"Alas~"

A ghostly sigh came from a corner in the darkness, like a deadly ghost.

"Who?"

Qian Zhao has been in a high position for a long time, and he has his own bearing, but at this time, he suddenly heard that it was strange, and he didn't show anything unusual, but he frowned and asked.

Where the candlelight could not shine, a black-robed man slowly walked out.

I saw that his body was shrouded in black, even if he had appeared within ten steps of Qian Zhao, Qian Zhao couldn't see his face.

But Qian Zhao still instinctively felt a strong cold and cruel aura from this person.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Qian Zhao asked, and then subconsciously looked out the door.

Shilang's Mansion, there are many homes and nurses, if you are a person, how can you enter your own study, but there is no movement outside?

"Lord Qian doesn't have to look at it, soon, there will be no living person in the Shilang Mansion."

"Bold!"

Qian Zhao shouted angrily.

"Where does a thief dare to speak wildly, how can a second-class member of the official court be intimidated by such nameless rats? Come! ”

With Qian Zhao's angry shouting, the silent courtyard really had some movement, but soon, it turned into a series of muffled snorts and screams.

The night was calm again.

Qian Zhao's usual gestures and movements slowly stiffened.

The man in the black robe sighed again: "If you can, the poor monk really doesn't want to take the life of Lord Qian, but if you don't die, I'm afraid, others won't be safe, so I can only wronged Lord Qian." ”

Qian Zhao was not a stupid person, and when he heard no movement outside, he finally understood that this person was the murderer sent by someone else to assassinate him. I'm afraid that there are more such people out there.

He had no time to take care of his wife and children, so he said tremblingly, "Who sent you?" The Great Prince? ”

Qian Zhao felt a little dreamy, a waste like the eldest prince could raise such a killer?

The man in the black robe did not speak, and did not seem to be in a hurry to end his life, but walked over to his desk and picked up the letters he had written earlier.

"Lord Qian is worthy of his background, and his literary brilliance is the essence. Reading adult articles really makes a rough person like a poor monk yearn for it.

It's a pity that if adults can understand the way to protect themselves, they will not invite today's disaster.

If you don't die, you will be able to fulfill the name of loyalty in the future. ”

"Hmph."

Qian Zhao snorted coldly, he knew that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, the fear in his heart had been suppressed under such circumstances, he was really putting life and death aside now, but he was most concerned about who was going to kill him.

"Wise and self-sufficient...... Are you His Majesty's man?! ”

Qian Zhao suddenly woke up.

The black-robed man was silent.

"Hehe."

Qian Zhao laughed miserably and sat down.

In vain, he prides himself on being loyal and righteous, but he didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his father in the end.

But......

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything Qian Zhao has done is for Your Majesty's thousands of miles of country! How can Your Majesty treat your ministers so poorly? The so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and his ministers have to die, why does His Majesty not even leave the last trace of face for his ministers, and actually treat his ministers with such petty means? ”

Qian Zhao cried, leaving half a line of tears in his eyes.

It is common for ancient scholars to die at the hands of emperors, and scholars are proud of it.

Although he Qian Zhao is not as righteous as his predecessors, he is not afraid of death!

I just didn't expect that it would be such a way to die in the end.

It was only at this time that he felt a sense of worthlessness for himself.

Such an emperor, how thin!

Even if he wants Qian Zhao to die, he should also die in the prison! Die under the noon gate!

No, he died in his own house in the middle of the night, and he also paid for the family.

The black-robed man stood motionless, waiting for Qian Zhao to finish venting his emotions.

There was really a trace of unbearability in his heart.

Although this person has no talent, he has the name of loyalty!

Unfortunately, you were wrong from the start......

After a few moments, the black-robed man walked out of the large study and stood under the flickering eaves of the porch, looking out at the deep courtyard.

At this time, the originally quiet and elegant courtyard has long been like a purgatory on earth.

Corpses everywhere.

There were only a dozen or so ghost-like black-robed people roaming around.

A black-robed man stepped forward and said, "The head of the Qian family, the Qian family, has been wiped out, a total of twenty-eight people. ”

The black-robed man on the eaves of the corridor nodded, and was about to greet him to leave, when suddenly a baby's cry came from the ear room of the side courtyard, causing all the black-robed people present to pause.

"If your subordinates are derelict in their duties, you will deal with it."

The black-robed man below clenched his fists and pleaded guilty, then picked up his knife and walked to the backyard.

"Well, I'll go myself."

The black-robed man on the porch said quietly, then ignored the others, and his figure ran into the backyard like a ghost, flashing into a small room.

A small baby stroller was parked in the corner of the room, and a small thing wrapped in a thick brocade quilt could be faintly seen squirming inside.

"Alas, the older a person gets, the more indecisive his heart becomes."

The black-robed man gently pulled out the dagger hidden between his wrists and walked towards the corner.

A pure and flawless little baby with big eyes was crying straight away, but when someone came over, he immediately stopped crying. It's just that a trace of doubt quickly flashed on the little face, as if he was curious about who this person was and why it was so strange.

The black-robed man leaned over, touched his small face with his rough palm, and then slowly raised the dagger.

"Giggle~"

When the little guy saw that he was behaving strangely, he thought that his grandmother was teasing him, and instantly burst into laughter, and his face bloomed with the most innocent and flawless smile.

The movements of the black-robed man stayed in mid-air.

After a long time, he suddenly picked up the swaddling clothes and wrapped them in a black robe.

"Wow Wow ......"

The black-robed man suddenly stretched out his finger to his neck, and his crying stopped.

The black-robed people waiting for the leader in the front yard saw a black shadow rushing up to the roof, leaving a sentence: "Take the torch and evacuate quickly." And he disappeared into the night.

Then, a raging fire soon broke out in the Shilang Mansion, attracting a large number of officers and soldiers who patrolled the night to rush to put out the fire, but there was still no trace of half of the black-robed people.
