The old house of the Wen family in the capital.

Zhu Xiaochang knelt in front of the bookcase, with a lonely look on his face, Wen Changjin raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xiaochang, stood up and helped Zhu Xiaochang up.

"Get up, this time I temporarily changed the topic of the policy, Your Majesty's intention is to implement the new policy, your answer did not go towards Your Majesty's intention, even if the article is splendid, but after all, it is not the topic, hurry up."

Zhu Xiaochang's face was even more ashamed.

"I was careless, I should have thought that it was because of the new policy in Tongzhou, but I just thought that maybe His Majesty wanted to suppress it, so I insisted on the original farming policy."

Wen Changjin waved his hand, "Take a good rest first, I will send you to Fuzhou in two days, and do something there first, even if you want to participate in the imperial examination, it will be three years later, and it can't be wasted now, if you make achievements, it will pave the way for your future palace test." ”

Zhu Xiaochang's face was quite moved, although those people outside the Gongyuan didn't dare to say anything in person, they must have been watching the excitement in their hearts, and they must have laughed at him, only his grandfather really cared for him.

"That filial piety did not disturb the rest of his grandfather, he retired first, and rushed to Fuzhou in two days."

Wen Changjin nodded, smiled and patted Zhu Xiaochang's shoulder.

"Go and have a good rest, don't think about anything, this was originally for the Wen family and you, being young and suffering more setbacks is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you lie down and taste the courage, there will be a day when your dreams will be realized."

The decadence on Zhu Xiaochang's face dissipated, and he saluted Wen Changjin, and then left.

Seeing the person disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Wen Changjin's face suddenly became gloomy, and he waved his hand to the side.

In an instant, several black shadows fluttered, falling in front of Wen Changjin like dead leaves, and the old housekeeper walked quickly, bowing down and not daring to raise his head at all.

Wen Changjin didn't speak, and went directly into the room.

The old butler followed, and those people also followed, and in an instant the study knelt on the ground, and the old butler couldn't control the trembling of his body, and the fear in the depths of his soul made his breathing a little unsteady.

"Master, it's all the old slaves who are ineffective and have exposed their flaws, otherwise they would definitely not have turned over the corruption case in Jinan Mansion and begged the master to punish him."

Wen Changjin waved his hand and motioned for the old housekeeper to stand up, and the blacks subconsciously tensed their bodies one by one, but they didn't dare to change their movements.

"Let that Bai Qingyun escape, it really shouldn't be, there are not many remnants of the remnants of the previous dynasty, she is afraid that she doesn't know that she is the Xiao family, but don't do it for the time being, everyone retreats, so as not to show the horse's feet."

The men in black all said yes, and one of them moved forward, and said:

"Master, the left protector in the palace is dead, it is said that he has passed seventy punishments, and there are still the last two levels left to survive, but apart from what we know, I haven't explained anything."

Wen Changjin nodded, wiped the corner of his lips with a handkerchief, and it seemed that he could still smell the smell of an old eunuch on his lips.

"When the news is released, there are no people left, if these people know that the old thing is dead, they will definitely make a desperate bet, anyway, the descendants of the Xiao family can't find it, and they don't know that the girl is the Xiao family.

Just let him die with a secret, he still thought that I had already killed the last bone and blood of the Xiao family, oh yes, remember that the body has to be checked, this old thing is too cunning, he was almost framed by him back then, and Hei Feng did it himself. ”

The man known as Black Wind hurriedly said yes, thought for a moment and stopped moving.

Wen Changjin waved his hand, and the other black-clothed people all retreated, leaving the old housekeeper and this man named Heifeng, seeing that the door was closed, the old housekeeper also stood at the door and looked outside, and this person bowed down again.

"On the factory guard's side, it seems that the investigation has not stopped, and in order to release Bai Qingyun, Uncle Zhong Yuanbo seems to have had a secret conversation with the Emperor Dog, but no one knows the content, and then Fang Hua, who rescued people and got very close to Uncle Zhongyuan, also went to the factory guard again."

Wen Changjin frowned slightly, leaned forward, and looked at Hei Feng with his hands supporting his knees.

"But what did you say?"

Hei Feng shook his head, "There are many masters in the factory guards, this is also the news from Hei Yan, this time he almost succeeded, but it also aroused Fang Jizhong's suspicions, and the things arranged later did not let Hei Yan interfere, Fang Jizhong also said that he would not let Hei Yan call him godfather in the future." ”

Wen Changjin snorted, "Waste, you can't do such a little thing, what's the use of him?" ”

Hei Feng quickly knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Forgive me, master, Heiyan is not good at killing people directly, but it stands to reason that Bai Qingyun was tossed like this, and he also used the black gold poison given to the eldest prince back then, and he definitely didn't live for half a month, but there was no news for the time being in the past few days.

I heard that early this morning, Zhongyuanbo went to Tongzhou to open a branch, and also helped Liu Renli build a road, and it is estimated that he will go for a long time, so he also brought Bai Qingyun there. ”

Wen Changjin narrowed his eyes, and the old emperor temporarily changed the subject, which was a warning to the Wen family, and it also kept Zhu Xiaochang away from the court.

He had thought of such an arrangement, but the more it was, the less worried he became.

Because only by punishing oneself is a kind of trust in oneself, if you don't do anything, it will make people uneasy, and the follow-up will be punished for a year, but this Bai Qingyun is protected in the Rejuvenation Hall, and the identity of the princess of the previous dynasty makes him really worried.

"Since you went to Tongzhou, you haven't sent many masters to the factory guard, right?"

Hei Feng nodded, "Listening to Hei Yan, all the people in the factory guards began to check the various officials of the DPRK and China in groups, but they just routinely sent six people to follow, it is estimated that one is following Bai Qingyun, and the other also wants to know Zhou Heng's movements at any time." ”

Wen Changjin didn't rush to speak, thought for a while, and looked at the old housekeeper.

"Don't contact Heiyan for the time being, since he is suspected, this contact may leak our whereabouts, this time you personally take someone there, Heiyan's medicine may not be reliable, Zhou Heng's medical skills are indeed too powerful, he is not Liu Chengjie back then.

Although this black gold poison is ferocious, it has been stored for many years, I am always afraid that it is not safe, no matter what method you use, even if you take some people, you will kill her, I want her to be Bai Qingyun forever, otherwise those old guys who have returned to the mountain will definitely not support us. ”

When Hei Feng heard this, he quickly knelt down with a determined expression on his face.

"Don't worry, master, even if Hei Feng takes his own life, he will kill this person, so Hei Feng will retire for the time being."

After saying that, Heifeng got up, opened the door and disappeared into the night, the old housekeeper stood in front of the door and looked, then closed the door and returned to Wen Changjin, standing with his hands down.

Wen Changjin sighed, raised his head and closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

"What's the news from the third one?"

The old housekeeper hurried closer, "The third master said, all the old people over there in Yingzhou are fine, and the Sichuan land has also been arranged. ”

Wen Changjin sighed, his figure seemed to be a little rickety, and his face was tired.

"I think that the emperor's health is not as good as day by day, if you wait patiently, in a year or two, you can let the crown prince ascend the throne, so we still have to be patient, and the second prince will not reply for the time being.

If you really do it, the veterans of the DPRK and China will not sit idly by, especially King Ning will be the first to stand up, we are not completely sure, the previous matter of the great prince cannot be repeated. ”

The old housekeeper nodded, he understood what Wen Changjin meant, at this time, if he was really not completely sure, and he would not be justified in helping the prince to ascend the throne, Zhu Xiaochang was here as an alternative, which was also safe.

"Prince Xiaochang also seems to understand what the master means, he is anxious to participate in the imperial examination, but also to get the master's approval."

Wen Changjin waved his hand, "This kid still needs to be sharpened, although he is more talented than the big son, but his ambition is not small, he really helped him to take the position, if I am alive, it is okay, if I die one day, the first unlucky person is the descendants of the Wen family." ”

The old housekeeper was speechless, Wen Changjin was not worried about nothingness, but it was absolutely possible, which could be seen from the means of disposing of the maids beside him.

"The old slave has nothing to say, but does the emperor really have the intention of letting the crown prince succeed to the throne?"

Wen Changjin smiled, and this weird smile appeared on his gloomy face, which made people look creepy.

"The preparations have already been prepared, if you really want to do it to the Wen family this time, then there is nothing to say, directly help the prince to succeed to the throne, we are justified, and the holy decree of succession has been hidden properly."

The old housekeeper was stunned, obviously these were not controlled by him, and he was suddenly shocked, it seemed that he had asked what he shouldn't have asked, so he quickly bowed down and saluted.

"The old slave has trespassed, so I will arrange the southward journey of the filial son."

Wen Changjin nodded, motioned for him to step back, and the door was closed again before he stood up and walked towards the inner room of the study.

Twisting a bottle on the bookcase, there was a rattling sound, and the whole bookcase moved.

A secret passage appeared in front of him, and he walked slowly, twisting a candlestick on the wall, the hidden door of the bookcase was closed, lighting a candle, lifting it and slowly lowering it.

The passage is very long, and after walking for a long time, it seems that there is still wind in the passage, raising his hand to block the candle, walking to another door, taking out the key, opening the door lock, and a huge secret room exudes a strong smell.

Placing the candle on one side, covering his mouth and nose, he glanced into a corner, and a man slowly raised his head, and with his movements, the sound of chains clashing sounded.

Wen Changjin smiled and glanced at the food box that had not been touched.

"It seems that you have heard that your daughter is not dead, are you happy that you are so happy that you haven't eaten?"

The man stared at Wen Changjin, his eyes were like hungry wolves, but he didn't speak, just whined.

Wen Changjin covered his mouth, as if he was a little surprised, walked closer and grabbed the chain, and the man turned to Wen Changjin and fell straight down, but this action can be seen clearly, there are no legs under the robe, as if they have disappeared from under the crotch.

"I forgot, your dumb hole is sealed, you can't shout, right, okay I admit it, I sent someone to kill her, and she, like you, was poisoned by my black gold, although she is not dead now, and she is not far from death.

Black Rock, do you remember? ”

The man's eyelids twitched, and he raised his head instantly, the name seemed to directly evoke some memories of him.

"It seems that I still remember, it was the black rock you raised, I asked him to whip your daughter with a leather with iron thorns, the iron thorns were all soaked in the poison of black gold, and the whole back was full of whiplashes, I think she was not so lucky, she could cut off her legs and survive, right!

Tut-tut, the wolf cub raised by himself, killed his own daughter, this feeling must be very wonderful to me, you didn't agree to let Heiyan enter the factory guard, but I think this is an opportunity, I was so loyal to you back then, but how did you treat me? ”

Wen Changjin looked at the man with a smile, raised his hand and poked him a few times, the man suddenly seemed to be breathing easier, and after being thrown away by Wen Changjin, he fell to the ground and kept gasping.

The man struggled to get up, "I can make you so excited, and you came to tell me this, it's nothing more than that you didn't succeed, and you can't get angry, and you just want me to be anxious." ”

This sentence directly hit the point, Wen Changjin bared his teeth and showed a fierce light, grabbed the man's collar, and a face full of scars was forced to lift up.

Those eyes seemed to be about to crack, staring at Wen Changjin, but there was still a smile on his lips, and this smile seemed to be the greatest irony.

"Don't look at me with this gaze, you actually wanted to kill me back then, you think I was too ambitious, at that time my daughter was discussing marriage with the eldest prince, at such a time, you actually let Heifeng and them kill me, in order to survive, I naturally have to fight back, your only flaw is that I didn't expect Heifeng to be my person, right?

I think that if you caught me back then, I am afraid that it will be more cruel than my methods, we have more than 100 people in the Wen family, and none of them will be left, I just didn't expect that Wu Laoqi would be able to run away with the last princess of your Xiao family with his life, heh is really loyal!

Okay now, Wu Laoqi is dead, I'm afraid your daughter herself doesn't know her background, but don't worry, I won't let her live.

The identity of the remnants of the previous dynasty, whether it is me or the people of the factory guard, will want to catch her, even those old things in Yingzhou and Chuandi, they don't want to use it. ”

The man looked back and chuckled.

"Daughter? Whether it's dead, the Xiao family has no worries, in this life, the things we carry are too heavy, and in the next life, if we are born in an ordinary family, we can also live a healthy life. ”

The man's expression was extremely indifferent, but this expression made Wen Changjin very angry, as if he punched on the cotton, and Wen Changjin stomped his feet.

"Everything that the Xiao family has is in my hands, and it is impossible to oppose Liang and Wei, but I can let these people follow the prince and support the crown prince to ascend the throne, at least not let them live in the shadows like rats, walking in the passages all over the bottom."

The man's chest rose and fell even more, obviously angry that he couldn't do it, such emotions were uncontrollable.

"Hehe, it's not impossible to get on the throne, but you want to get the support of Yingzhou and Chuandi, without my Xiao family, how can you mobilize?"

Wen Changjin squatted down, all the unhappiness and annoyance just now disappeared, stared at the man's eyes, admired the scars on his face, and then said slowly:

"My third son Wen Tianfeng and your daughter were born one day, when they were hiding from the imperial court, you took my Tianfeng to the rally, my son Tianfeng's arm, there is a birthmark like a wild goose, maybe you didn't pay attention, but many people present have memories.

Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for saving me a lot of words, and then the crown prince will take the throne, and this court will be my Wenchangjin's Yiyantang, deal with these Zhu family, once the time is ripe, I will let Tianfeng represent the Xiao family on the throne. ”

The man propped up the ground, roaring and trying to crawl over, such an emotional out-of-control that he hadn't seen for many years.

Wen Changjin seemed to be in a better mood, his chubby body turned, flexibly ran to the man's side, raised his hand and poked him in a few places, and the roar stopped abruptly in an instant.

"Don't get excited, wait for me to kill Bai Qingyun, and then bring her body over to show you, it can be regarded as assisting you, why don't I miss the old days, hahaha!"
