‖ Volume 1 Chapter 2 ‖ Interests First

"Really?" The girl was still a little stunned, "If the Zhang family is destroyed, it will do all kinds of harm to the court and no benefit." ”

Sheng Tilt Zhangjia is a merchant that has existed since the founding of the country. Together with Xue and Gu, it is called the three pillars of Sheng Tilt. It is the main source of state revenue for the imperial court.

If the entire Zhang clan is destroyed at this time, it is no different from self-destructing the foundation. And in addition to the businessmen, the Zhang family also has bureaucrats and horses...... At this time, it would be too reckless to destroy his entire clan.

What's more, the Zhang family is the head of the three pillars of prosperity, and the tax accumulated in a year is twice that of the Xue family! If the Zhang family is destroyed, it will only weaken the national strength, and all kinds of harm will be done but not good.

"Recently, the Zhang family has often spent some unknown amounts, which are huge and frequent. The court was worried that he would collude with the regent, and he had a quarrel with the Xue family recently, often making things difficult for the servants of the other family, making the people complain again and again, so they could only get rid of him. The man rubbed his eyebrows, "If the Zhang family really colludes with Liang Chen, then the consequences are unimaginable......

Liang Chenquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, known as 'nine thousand years old', and there were more than 1,000 shops in the Zhang family, and almost every place where the sparrows swept was the shops invested by his family. If the two join forces and start a rebellion, they are afraid that Sheng Tilt will be greatly damaged, and may even be destroyed as a result.

"Then why don't you just kill the regent Liang Chen?" The girl concentrated on mending the torn corners of her clothes, not forgetting to mourn for her clothes, "It's a pity that this hole is too long to be covered by a flower." ”

"If you like this dress, I can order someone to send you a thousand sets and a hundred sets." The man smoothed the girl's watery hair before continuing gently, "Where did you get this dress?" I'll order the Clothing Bureau to make another set for you. ”

"Strange to say, I received a package from a mysterious person the other day. It was filled with this dress, and it was said to be the clothes left behind by Tang Yan, the daughter of the neighboring Yuexi country, who had been destroyed. Everyone says that Yuexi has a tradition that every time a baby is born, the family will prepare all the clothes for him before he becomes an adult, which means that he has no worries about food and clothing. I put it on just right, and because it's red, I put it on this trip! ”

The girl said, and spun in circles: "It's good-looking!" ”

The man was slightly stunned for a moment, and then coughed lightly: "Naturally...... Pretty. But since it's Yuexi's clothes, I have to pick up the relics to do it. ”

If Song Yuelan sat down at this time, she might not be able to see blood coming out of the man's fist hidden under his sleeve.

"It's okay, I'm an embroidery woman! Of course, you have to sew it yourself! Song Yuelan became more and more interested, "Senior brother, you haven't told me why you can't kill Liang Chen directly!" ”

"Huh? Let's get back to business. He picked up the teapot, shook it gently, and explained: "Liang Chen has controlled the royal family for a long time, and the Liang Mansion is heavily guarded, Liang Chen's martial arts are strong, not only does he have little chance of succeeding in rashly assassination, but he will also put you in it for nothing, right?" ”

Song Yuelan saw that he looked a little distrustful, so she put down the needle, hugged her chest dissatisfied, and said, "Why? It's not that you don't know that I've done a good job, but I'm just a little prince, and I'll take his life tonight! ”

The man smiled: "I thought you had been a lot more delicate recently, but how could you still look like this." You're too reckless, aren't you afraid of losing your life? That Liang Chen governed the country well, although the people were afraid of his cruelty, but they also admired him more. There are many people under him who are strong in martial arts, and the so-called two fists are invincible to four feet. ”

"This means that Liang Chen can't be beaten or killed, so what should I do?" The girl stood up sharply, and the posture was as if she was going to tear the man apart, "I really don't believe in this evil, there are people in the world who I can't assassinate!" ”

"Eh, what are you anxious about? I'll tell you the plan in detail. The man scolded the girl's uprightness and waved his hand to signal her to sit down, "Isn't it possible to see how powerful the Zhang family is at this time?" The Zhang family has a lot of money, didn't it give Liang Chen the opportunity to develop troops and strengthen the defense line? Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to snatch the hunter's knife first, and then kill the hunter? ”

"How troublesome is this, the so-called 'capture the thief and capture the king first', don't you want to toss me to death?" Song Yuelan pouted, "Yes, senior brother is a prince, just move your mouth, but junior sister is different." For many years, my sister has been swaying in front of the ghost gate several times, can't my senior brother feel sorry for me! ”

The man got up and rubbed her head, and said softly: "Good junior sister, if you destroy the entire Zhang family, you can make Liang Chen stop, and finally you can go back to the mountains and forests without asking about political affairs, so as not to let you go to the ghost gate again before closing the door?" ”

"What if the Zhang family is destroyed, it still won't help?" Song Yuelan was a little anxious, "Senior brother, that's a living life!" ”

"It's just ordinary people, and it's not surprising that they die when they die." The man scoffed, "If it doesn't help, I will assassinate Liang Chen again, so what's the matter?" ”

"Whatever! Senior brother, even though my sister is rumored to be tyrannical and moody, my senior brother has always understood me! Brother...... How can the senior brother bear to let the junior sister have the blood of innocent people on her hands! ”

"What's the point if you get contaminated! The road to the throne will be paved with blood! The man strode forward and grabbed Song Yuelan's hands tightly, the girl's hands were scarred and covered with thin calluses, "Yuelan, you are my sharp weapon, and it is my guarantee to sit on the throne!" You should think it is for the sake of Senior Brother...... Can't you? ”

Song Yuelan shrank out her hand, her expression a little dazed. It turns out that the personable young man in white still stayed in the past after all? Is the ruthless man in front of her still her senior brother?

"Take 10,000 steps back, there is no clue at all that the Zhang family colluded with Liang Chen, if this time he mistakenly killed the virtuous talent, wouldn't the court have been hit in the end?"

"What if he colluded?" The man's expression became more and more cold, "You and I have grown up in the master since childhood, when did the master teach you to be soft-hearted?" Sister, although I am usually gentle and kind, I have never had any mercy for the dead or suspicious person! And you are indifferent and murderous on weekdays, why do you want to defend the Zhang family? ”

Song Yuelan's fingertips tapped lightly. She is a minion and weapon of the royal family, and she must not be so soft-hearted. But...... Some people really don't deserve to die! The Qian family killed today was only because the head of the family colluded with the party and corrupted the law, and his wife oppressed the peasants and exploited them in every way. This is not the case with his children.

The neighbors all said that the children of the Qian family were kind and generous, even if they were going to die, it should be the Qian couple who died. However, the kid bit his arm and damaged his clothes, and he was damned.

The girl was slightly stunned when she saw this, then sighed and said, "Senior brother, I came out of the pile of dead people, and I never left any mercy for the dead people, but...... The Zhang family only spent a few sums of money and goods, how could they commit the crime of destroying the door? ”

"It is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go. This is what Master taught you to me, haven't you forgotten? The man shook his head, "Senior sister, you can only show me how reckless and stupid you are." If someone else sees it, they won't be able to say anything to you. ”

"What?" The girl rubbed her drowsy head, "I'm so sleepy......"

The incense burner in the house kept burning, and suddenly, Song Yuelan fainted irrepressibly. The man nodded in satisfaction, made a gesture to her, and did something for her, and then turned back and sat down on the dragon chair.

After half a pillar of incense, Song Yuelan woke up slowly. She rubbed her worried eyes: "Senior brother? What's wrong with me? ”

The man pretended to be inexplicable: "I was discussing with you that when the whole family of the Zhang family was destroyed, you suddenly fell asleep." You still ask me how? ”

"I see." The girl rubbed her sore brows.

"If you're out there, don't be sure what outsiders will say about you." The man shook his head helplessly.

"Say me? What do I have to say. Song Yuelan pouted, "If he dares to say it, I will peel off his tongue!" ”

The man smiled lightly and nodded, but his eyes were particularly terrifying: "This is my good junior sister." ”

"That's it, it's just to kill him all, I did it." The girl waved her hand, "When will you do it?" ”

"Tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go catch up on sleep first. Let's go. As soon as the girl's voice fell, she had already disappeared into the night. The strange thing is that she is clearly dressed in red and is particularly dazzling, but she can completely hide in the night.

Probably because of the clumps of poppies blooming in the courtyard.

The man watched her leave, and after a while, he said, "You can come out." In the next second, a man in black jumped down from the beam of the house and said respectfully: "Prince." ”

The man obviously didn't expect him to call him that, but nodded noncommittally and didn't respond.

This is the most spoiled prince of the saint today, Ye Hao.

"What does the prince command?"

"My junior sister has always been reckless, you must protect her." Ye Hao took a sip of tea lightly, raised her eyes and stared at the man, "I'm afraid that she has been bullied by something, so take care of her." ”

The man in black recalled the girl's cruel and living appearance, and couldn't help but shudder - that girl also needs protection? Someone offended her, and it was light not to break him into pieces! However, he wanted to know what the prince meant, so he answered "yes".

He hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Prince, Miss Song...... No, the princess's illusions are crumbling day by day, I'm afraid the prince can hide it for a while, and he can't hide it for a lifetime, if one day she breaks through the shackles and restores her memory of being Tang Yan, the daughter of Yuexi Country......"

"I'm afraid that by then, the grass on Liang Chen's grave will be two feet high." Ye Hao said confidently, "Why bother with these little things? I've already deepened the illusion by a layer, and she won't be able to break through this shackle in a short period of time. Even if it breaks through, it doesn't matter, after all, we have a long way to go. ”

"Yes."

"Liang Chen's side, how's it going?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. The meaning of the saint is that he wants to make Song Yuelan a princess and marry to the Liang Mansion, so as to wait for an opportunity to act and kill Liang Chen. The man in black paused for a moment before he said, "Prince, you might as well go and persuade the saint, after all, that Liang Chen ......."

"I understand what Liang Chen has to do with Tang Yan. But now that her memory is gone, how can she delay this assassination? And she is the top assassin in the country. The man waved his hand and motioned for him to go out, then rested his gaze back on the wave-like poppies.

Senior sister, this evil relationship can only be cut off by you personally.

You don't have to blame the senior brother and the emperor for being ruthless. When Liang Chen is cold, I will take heaven and earth as my hir, and the sun and the moon as the medium to welcome you to the beginning.
