Chapter 428: Rather Believe It

The old god of the man in red said, "You, you don't have that ability. ”

The county lord completely erupted, and even the guards behind her had already drawn their swords.

The man in red raised his eyes, and many black-clothed people immediately surrounded them.

The arrow had to be fired, and the county lord didn't have time to think, so he could only take the guards and fight with the man in black.

She knew that those people in black were prepared, and she only blamed her for underestimating Yulou.

The county lord's weapon is a portable whip, which is suitable for long-range combat, but it is not suitable for such a close fight, because she is not sure whether she will hit her own people, so she is cautious, causing her to quickly fall behind.

And the man in red never moved his hand from beginning to end, looking at the county lord with sharp eyes, and the county lord had no time to take care of it.

Seeing that the county lord's guards were already at a disadvantage, the county lord gradually became irritable, and the whip was hit out again and again, regardless of whether it hurt her own people, because she finally understood that she was tricked, and these people just wanted her life.

Helplessly, there were too many people in black, and soon another batch was made up after killing one batch, and the wheel battle consumed physical strength, and the county lord soon felt physically exhausted. She didn't tell Su Zhenzhen that she was here, and everyone who knew was brought by her, and no one could save her.

The county lord is sad in his heart, father and mother, we will see you again in the next life, and Zhen Zhen, don't blame yourself, this is all self-inflicted.

At this time, a lot of secret guards were suddenly added to help the county lord and others, and when the county lord saw them clearly, he was ecstatic in his heart, that was the emperor's secret guard, and he would definitely be able to turn the situation around. Sure enough, they lived up to their expectations.

The secret guard and the people who listened to the rain tower were in a stalemate, and the county lord was afraid that things would change for a long time, so he decided to stop immediately.

"The Secret Guard listens to the order and retreats!"

Seeing the county lord speak, the people on both sides withdrew their hands. Hearing that Yulou was jealous of the identity of the county lord and did not dare to kill him, the secret guard heard the order and took the opportunity to escort the county lord back to the osmanthus forest.

At first sight, seeing a group of secret guards surrounding the county lord, Su Zhenzhen's heart jumped, and she immediately pushed aside the crowd and pulled the county lord into the house, and closed the door. "The county lord hasn't been hurt, has he?" Su Zhenzhen asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." After speaking, the county lord's brows tightened, and his voice trembled a little, "Zhen Zhen...... Knowing that my identity is still unscrupulous, and I can stalemate with the secret guard, the owner of the Listening Rain Building is by no means simple. If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty couldn't worry that the two of us women would go far away and specially sent secret guards, I'm afraid I would have gone and never returned. ”

When the county lord went out, Su Zhenzhen felt that her right eyelid was beating non-stop, and she was worried in her heart, this matter was really not simple. Although Su Zhenzhen knew that the Royal Heavenly Guards were not vegetarians, she still had lingering fears, and staying here at this time would only make it more dangerous.

Seeing that the county lord was frightened, Su Zhenzhen stepped forward and wrapped her in her arms, patted her on the back and comforted: "Don't be afraid, the county lord, I'm here." Since we have torn our faces with them, we must not stay here for long, and we must immediately return to Beijing to report this matter to Your Majesty and discuss countermeasures. ”

After this stubble, the county lord didn't have the heart to continue playing, and choked up: "Yes, we must rush back immediately!" But as soon as we are gone, they will soon notice it, and if they catch up, will we not be ......"

The county lord's eyes were about to turn red, and if he didn't leave, at most he would make the other party think that he was afraid. When the limelight is over, you can quietly leave. If they leave immediately, the people who listen to Yulou can guess that they are going to the capital to complain, and they are afraid that they will fight to the death before they will give up.

Obviously, Su Zhenzhen had already prepared, "You might as well leave Yuzhu Linyue and dress up like you and me." Rumors were released to the outside world, saying that the county lord was frightened, sick in bed due to the cold, and needed my service. After thinking for a while, Su Zhenzhen proposed this idea, and it was reasonable for the county lord to think about it. He hurriedly summoned the maid guards and ordered them carefully to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The two of them were worried all the way, and they hurried back to Beijing on the official road, which was much faster than when they came. It was late at night when Su Zhenzhen and the county lord returned to the palace, and the county lord first informed the princess and the prince, who planned to enter the palace that night, but were stopped by the prince.

"Zhenzhen, you should freshen up first, get some sleep, and it's not too late to enter the palace when you wake up. If it's really as you said, I don't care about this moment when I listen to Yulou. The prince looked at his daughter and Su Zhenzhen and felt a little distressed, so he had to persuade. The princess on the side also felt that it made sense when she heard this, and pulled the two into the house to freshen up, and instructed her subordinates to prepare some supper.

Early the next morning, the prince went to the court, and the princess took the county lord and Su Zhenzhen to hand over the sign to the concubine's palace to chat. After a while, the emperor's will came, and Lord Xuan and Su Zhenzhen's study met with him.

"Long live the emperor, please say hello to the emperor." After speaking, the county lord and Su Zhenzhen were about to kneel down and salute, but the emperor smiled and stepped forward to support the two of them, and asked, "Don't be polite, aren't you two going out for a long trip?" Why did you return to Beijing so quickly? ”

The county lord recounted the causes and consequences, and the emperor's face was not very good-looking after hearing this, so he waved his hand and ordered the two to go down and have a good rest. After the two retreated, the emperor knew that Tingyulou must have power in the capital, so he mobilized Dongchang to secretly investigate the changes in the palace, and ordered Jinyiwei to secretly investigate Tingyulou.

Back in the house, Su Zhenzhen went to see the child first. Although it has only been more than a month since she left the capital, Su Zhenzhen misses it very much, after all, it is the flesh and blood that she conceived and gave birth to in October, and her blood is thicker than water. Moreover, when this child is growing up, his innocent, cute but sensible appearance is both gratifying and distressing.

The county lord had nothing to do, so he also coaxed the children with Su Zhenzhen to amuse, and rubbed some new food toys by the way. Two days later, the county lord couldn't hold it back, and asked very boredly, "Zhen Zhen, how do you think Your Majesty will deal with this matter?" Why hasn't there been any movement until now? ”

Su Zhenzhen touched the child's head, very indifferent, "Only if you don't know anything, can you know something." The county lord was confused when he heard this, and said with his eyes: "What you said has no beginning or end, and you are still playing tricks with me?" Su Zhenzhen glanced at the county lord with a smile, and felt that her puffing up appearance was very cute, so she comforted: "There will be movement in the next few days." ”

Hearing Su Zhenzhen say this, the county lord also calmed down and thought for a moment, "Yes, but I'm afraid you will be busy then, after all, you have information from all over the country." I'll go back to sleep, hee-hee, you can work as much as you can. With that, the county lord stretched and went back to his room. Su Zhenzhen watched the back fade away, smiled and shook her head, "You...... If that happens, will you sit idly by? Knife mouth, tofu heart. ”

At noon the next day, Su Zhenzhen had just had lunch with the child and coaxed him to sleep, and there was a faint noise outside. After closing the door and going up to the hall, Su Zhenzhen saw Gonggong Li, the most powerful man beside the emperor, anxiously probing into the inner room, pacing back and forth, but did not dare to go inside.

Knowing that there must be a follow-up to the matter of listening to Yulou, Su Zhenzhen didn't dare to delay, so she made a look, and the maid stuffed a few silver tickets over. Su Zhenzhen hurriedly asked politely: "I'm really sorry, the child rarely takes a nap, so Mr. Li has been waiting for a long time." There must be something urgent when you come to my house at this time, right? ”

Manager Li accepted the silver ticket, wiped his sweat with a smile and said, "The county lord is polite, this is a matter of miscellaneous affairs." I also ask the county lord to enter the palace with me immediately. Your Majesty had a fire for some reason this morning, and he didn't eat at noon, and Concubine Xian's persuasion didn't work. I dropped a cup, and the county lord went to Xuan, I am afraid that there is something important to discuss. Su Zhenzhen was relieved, so she naturally stopped shirking and got into the sedan chair.

Entering the imperial study, Su Zhenzhen greeted the emperor as usual, but the emperor only waved his hand to signal her to sit down, and was silent for a long time. The emperor stood in front of the bookcase, his eyes were a little gray, and his voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that he had not rested well for many days. Su Zhenzhen also only glanced at it, then quietly lowered her head and sat down to drink tea.

"Zhen Zhen, I have sent people to investigate this matter in the Imperial City Palace and on the rivers and lakes, and every time I have some clues, I have broken the clues at the key point. At the beginning, I allowed you to open Su Ji all over the country, just to prepare for today, there are some things, I will check, it is better for you to check. The emperor pinched his brows, his tone a little helpless.

Putting down the teacup, Su Zhenzhen looked up at the emperor and said in a firm tone: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty." As far as I know, Tingyulou is a Jianghu organization, and the person in charge behind it has a strange style, which seems to be all based on mood. As for the specific situation, it needs to be investigated in depth. ”

Hearing Su Zhenzhen's answer, the emperor felt even heavier, "I'm not afraid that he will ask for something, but I am afraid that he will ask for nothing...... Well, you can continue to investigate and go back. ”

When he returned to the house, he entered the door and the child ran out barefoot. The little man hugged Su Zhenzhen, with a few tears on his face, with some crying: "A-Niang, where have you been?" As soon as I woke up, you were gone. Su Zhenzhen hurriedly picked him up, with mixed feelings in her heart, the first time she had been separated from the child for so long, and after returning to Beijing, she had important things in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would be negligent, which made him have some gains and losses.

"Heng'er, A-Niang went to the palace to see Concubine Xian. Don't you like the princess sister the most, can your mother send you to the palace to play with the ninth princess for a few days? "Hearing that the case of Yulou is very important, Su Zhenzhen is afraid that she will not have time to take care of the child, and she is even more afraid that after the identity is exposed, those people and dogs will jump over the wall and attack the child. Thinking about it, only the palace is the safest.

The child buried his head in Su Zhenzhen's arms, and his voice was a little muffled: "Then A-Niang wants to take me back quickly." Su Zhenzhen carried the child into the house, sent the maid to bring shoes and socks, put them on the child herself, and replied with a smile: "My Heng'er is really sensible, a little man." A-Niang is busy for a while, so she will accompany Heng'er well, okay. ”

When the child heard her assurance, he was relieved, nodded a little shyly, and said, "I am a manly husband, and I will protect A-Niang in the future, and I can't stick to A-Niang all the time." Su Zhenzhen listened to the child's fairy tales, and was sad for a while, and almost shed tears. In the end, he just rubbed the child's head and said yes.

After sending the child to Concubine Xian's palace, Su Zhenzhen went back to the house to set up. There was silence in the study, Su Zhenzhen sat in front of the desk and didn't know what to wait for, and after a while, two men and two women stood in front of her in turn. The four of them were all dressed in black, and their appearances were so ordinary that they couldn't be found the moment they were thrown in the pile.

"The four pavilion masters of Qing, Bai, Wei, and Xuan listen to the order. From now on, Qingge will contact Su Ji strongholds all over the country to collect all rumors about Tingyulou in the rivers and lakes or on the streets, and although the rumors are released, there is no need to restrain them. The White Pavilion Pavilion Lord sent several groups of killers to make trouble where the rain tower was, remember, until the point was reached. Su Zhenzhen handed a token to the two pavilion masters, and the two of them took the order.

Looking at the remaining two, Su Zhenzhen pondered for a long time before speaking: "Wei Que and Xuanwu, the task ordered earlier is useful and useful, and if it is useless, it is useless, and in the end it is just a cover for the two of you." If you go to investigate and make trouble, you can hurt him at most, but you can't touch him at all. Each of you chooses a sub-base of Tingyu Building, and without exposing yourself, try to penetrate the upper floors of Tingyu Building. ”

"Wei Que and Xuanwu are ordered." As soon as the words fell, the two were gone. Su Zhenzhen looked at the empty study room and breathed a sigh of relief, and after dressing up, she went out in person and explored the major Qinglou gambling houses in the capital.
